aliondi Cotton Association.
The work that the, National
Cotton Association has been do
ing since the first of January is
benring t’rnits iu more wavs than
The persistent effort made
o secure uniform action through
ut the entir# cotton belt for a
systematic reduction of the cot
ton acreage has borne fruit.
Hundreds of thousands of far
mers have signed the pledges and
will abide thereby.
Fifteen hundred and sixty-five
newspapers, reaching more than
two and one-half million farmors
in the Southern States are carry
ing in each i*«us an article from
the National Cotton Association
on “Diversification and the Ilo-
fdtetion of the Cotton Acreage.”
’The resolution passed by the
bankers and the various cotton
exchanges are resulting in an
awakening on the part of the
bankers and merchants to the
necessity for their co-operation,
as never before in tlie history of
the South.
In response to the letter sent
lout last week by National Secre
tary Oswald Wilson, every mail
is bringing in orders from the
banks for diversification, buttons
which they will distribute to their
customers in order to encourage
diversification and the reduction
of the cotton acreage, us provided
for in the plan of the National
Cotton Association.
This will accomplish two oh-
jects: provide the necessary funds
to carry on the campaign, which
will not be very large, ns there
ifliio high salaried officials, and
also enlist the bankers and mer
chants with the farmers m the
campaign for diversification.
This work will be continued
through the press and otherwise
until the crop bus been planted.
It is conceded that this work of
the National Cotton Association,
resulting in having hundreds of
thousands of farmers sign pledg
es for the reduction of the cotton
ucioago has resulted in the ma
terial increase of the price of cot
ton. Some estimate this increase
at #10,000,000, while in cost has
not exceeded $500.
This movement lias also encour
aged the farmers to hold their
cotton at home, ami has given
the bankers and merchants con
fidence in the farmers, such as
they never had before, and with
the co-operation of these three
forces, no doubt that the inter
ests of the South will be protect
ed and cured for.
Those farmers who are carrying
their cotton should not let it bo
exposed to the weather. Unless
they take care of it, they will be
docked for “countv damaue” al-
mo-t as much as they would gain
in the price.
Put your cotton under shelter
and ask the co-operation of your
local merchant and banker in
carrying this cotton.
Ask your local merchant and
banker for a “Diversification
Button” and wear it as a badge
of honor.

The Atlanta Constitution
The Greatest American Weekly Newspaper,
ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR,
The Sunny South
The South’s Standard Literary Weekly,
FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR,
BOTH FOR ONLY $1.25
SENT TO ANY ADDRESS IN AMERICA.
* * * * *
T HE combination of these two weekly papers—the one
for news, the other purely literary—makes an ideal
offer for every Southern household.
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, 12 to 16 pages,
contains the news of the week carefully prepared and in
telligently presented, Its agricultural features alone
are worth many times its subscription price- Its market
page is always complete. Its Woman’s Kingdom and
Children’s “Department arc the best read and most ap
preciated pages at the fireside. Its special articles and
contributions are of the highest standard.
THE SUNNY SOUTH is the recognized literary
leader of the South, popular throughout its wide terri
tory, and known by its great work in the introduction of
new Southern writers to the literary world. Many of its
short story contests have brought to light authors whose
fame and fortune have been made possible by The Sunny
South. It is welcomed in over 50,000 homes today and is
destined to be the leading American story and household
paper. • ■
This wonderful combination blends all that is dcsirabte
in a home reading offer, two complete papers every
week, and 1905 will demonstrate to you its value and
insure your enrollment as a lifetime subscriber.

fact that the banker in his rr£
speetive community, is, °r should
lie, the industrial safety valve to
that community, and when lie
expresses himself on financial
matters, the most illiterate and
most learned stop to listen, as
the bankers of the United States
are considered its financiers, and
rightfully so. When we want to
know law, we go to the lawyer;
when we want to know medicine,
we go to the doctor, and the
world| is fast finding out that,
when they want tojlearu finances,
they must go to the financier.
“In my opinion,*we should pass
a resolution expressing in the
strongest terms that we believe
the only remedy, and a safe rem
edy, is)to reduce the acreage of
cotton from 25 to 88 1-8 per cent.
It this is done, the crop would
bring more money than a full
crop of cotton. Plant this 88 1-3
per cent in corn and cane, hay,
potatoes, etc.; raise some hogs;
let the farmer have his smoke
house and corncrib on his own
farm; fatten a few beeves and
hogs with his surplus corn and
hay; let his cotton crop lie his sur
plus crop; send his children to
school in place of keeping them
at home all fall and winter pick
ing 5-cent cotton. Diversifica
tion is the only road to prosperi
ty for the farmer of the South.”
RAILROADS.
We are in .receipt cf a number
letters from the different railroads
in the South, assuring the Nat
ional Cotton Association of their
hearty co-operation in organizing
the farmers and having them
adopt Diversification.

reason to believe that my work is satisfactory. Quite a
